Reply to comment by WildBoy-72 in I got cut off by a taxi driver last week. I was walking through town today and I saw him at the back of the queue at the taxi rank. I got in the first taxi in the queue and said "How much to the station ?" "$5" said the driver. "And how much for a blow job ?" I asked him. by AdeptLengthiness8886

A lot of places have a designated area where licensed taxis must wait in line to pick up passengers. If you want a taxi, you go to the area and go to the taxi at the front of the line.

I think it's the price tag he's objecting to, not the taxi stand!

Pretty sure it's the fact that dollars are American currency, but "queue" isn't commonly used in American English. We don't believe in putting that many silent letters in a word.

Dollars aren’t just American lots of countries use dollars to name their currency.

Wait, what do you use? You must have the concept of a queue right? It would explain a lot of you didn't but there's no way.

Edit: forgot about line

Dollars are not American.currency only though it's used in many places. More importantly nobody said dollar in the joke, they used the symbol $. This symbol does not mean dollar exclusively (let alone US dollar) but is used for other currencies as well.

nah, if it was Canada then when the taxi driver cut the guy off he'd have yelled "Soory!" out the window

I think its not the fact that these exist, but more what words are being used to describe them, that is being commented on.

Ah, I see. I didn't think exact location was important for the joke to be funny so my mind went another direction.

nah, you're right, it isn't. I didn't really think about it either.
